Rogers, a 21-year-old from South Carolina, scored the upset of the summer on Tuesday with a 6-0, 2-6, 6-0 victory in Montreal over Eugenie Bouchard, the Wimbledon finalist and eighth-ranked player in the world.

Bouchard, a Montreal native, suffered from stage fright. In the first set, she received a visit from her coach, Nick Saviano, who asked, "How are you feeling?" Bouchard's answer: "I want to leave the court." She proceeded to put a towel over her face as Saviano tried to calm her. Bouchard came back to win the second set, but was overwhelmed by Rogers's power in the third set.

"I just tried to stay in my bubble," Rogers said after the match. It was a quiet bubble: The crowd barely made a sound in the first and last sets, and the players couldn't hear the umpire announce the score because of power outages that shut down both the scoreboard and the ump's microphone.

Rogers is ranked No. 113 in the world. Earlier this year, she lost nine consecutive matches. Lately her results have been better: She reached the final of a tournament in Austria in July, and beat a top-25 player in Washington, D.C., last week. Rogers won two qualifying matches to gain a spot in the main draw in Montreal. She is scheduled to play Caroline Wozniacki, a former world No. 1, in the third round. "I couldn't be happier," she said. "I couldn't even dream for a better match."
